Every ANSP looks to maximise its efficiency, by applying the best financial and regulatory compliance models, or through structural developments such as corporatisation or privatisation.
NATS is the only ANSP in Europe that is fully privatised, and has proved that commercialisation is not only compatible with safety, but enhances it by effectively managing resources.
NATS can help ANSPs to develop effective commercial processes, enabling them to maintain the highest safety standards while maximising resource utilisation. This facilitates the fulfilment of customer and stakeholder obligations, instils a healthy level of commercial thinking and generates the economic growth essential for innovation and development.
